The Fisher King 7/10
A Terry Gilliam film starring Robin Williams and Jeff Bridges.
Bridges plays a radio shock jock, whose advice to a radio caller leads to the latter shooting up a night club, killing seven people. Several years later, having spiralled into alcoholism and depression, Bridges encounters the husband of one of the victims of that shooting, who is now homeless and dealing with mental illness. Thus, begins a tale of weirdness and redemption.
It's a Gilliam film, so if you like his off-kiltered brand (Brazil, 12 Monkeys, etc), you'll probably like this one. Williams puts in one of his better performances.
